Description: I thought this map really desperately needed a speedrun. :)

Shame I have to kill so many monsters, but I found I couldn't sneak past the archies (if you stay ailent/pacifist, only a few of them wake up, but that seems to be enough), and if I left too much alive in the mancubus room, then they came along and interfered with the fight with the archies.

I'm not sure the archie jump into the central/exit area would be much use in a Max run, since without the blue key you can't get out of that area to finish off the remaining monsters. Unless you can get an archie jump back out of there, that is...

If you're wondering why I make a point of picking up a shotgun (not just the SSG), it's to avoid an extremely inconvenient weapon change later on.
